Blood king of realms

chapter 16 : Klang the Chief of Staff

"Does any of you know about this sudden gathering…"

Will answered Janson's question by shrugging his shoulders while saying

"I don't know.... In fact, no one knows. It seems that an important event is about to happen...."

TI-9 finished talking when Will stopped talking

"Woe is right! There is undoubtedly a big event about to happen, I heard that even the Seventh Battalion had been summoned…"

"What is the Seventh Battalion here!!"

Ben shrieked in surprise

"Huh !, what’s wrong with your reaction, I know that the Seventh Battalion is the strongest of all of us."

Janson grabbed Will's shoulder who had just spoken and whispered something below

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha… I didn’t expect this at all, and I was the one who thought you were in love with your hideous muscles… Ha-ha-ha-ha… It turns out you’re after Gwen from the 7th Battalion…"

In the face of Will's mockery, Ben smiled and said

"Have you ever lived in a cave, everyone knows this... at least I'm after someone, not like you, you miserable lonely one."

"Guys, let’s go inside or I’ll be reprimanded by the captain . . . "

While speaking, Janson puched  Will, who was still swearing at Ben

Everyone followed suit. Janson is the commander of this five-man battalion. Their battalion is called the Fifth Battalion. The rank of the battalion indicates its strength. The higher the number, the stronger the battalion. That's why the seventh battalion is considered the strongest, followed by the sixth and fifth. . . etc.

 

The doorman moved when he saw Janson and his team coming and opened the small gate in the half of the giant door

Uma Jansun nodded to the doorman who did the same and then entered the gate

As soon as he walked inside, the sounds of the crowd gathered in the plaza attacked his ears

About 80 people of different races

"Look who we have here... Fifth Battalion and it's late as usual!"

A man standing on the platform in front of the crowd spoke

The man was tall, with short blond hair and a lean body. You might mistake him for being the captain of all the guards. Yes, the man standing in the podium was Negan, the captain of the guards.

" sorry , Commander... We had some traffic problems on the way !  "

Janson scratched the back of his head while lying to the captain

Negan narrowed his eyes as he stared at them fiercely

sigh!

negan  sighed when he saw the faces of the rest that confirmed Janson's words

"Forget it, I’m used to this... I won’t punish you this time because there is a lazier battalion than you... Isn’t it, Taylor!?"

Janson and his team turned to look behind him as the captain was looking

He saw seven people standing in a row

Of the seven, there were three females and four males

A tall young woman with her gorgeous blonde hair that was fluttering in the gust of wind stepped forward, raised her head and looked with her blue eyes at the leader on the stage with a serious look on her face.

"Forgive me for being late, Commander. It was I who delayed the battalion... punish me for everyone from my battalion. " 

The captain sighed again.

"Honest as usual, forget it, there is no punishment today... Now stop gossiping and listen. " 

Everyone stopped talking to each other and turned their attention to the captain of the guard

The leader nodded and started to speak while placing his hand behind his back

"As it is clear, all the battalions here, except for the Sixth Battalion, which was assigned a special mission by the Chief of Staff, in any case, today’s mission is very secret. I have confidence in you, but there is no harm in slandering. . . . Any leak of any information from here may kill its owner in the most horrific way."

Everyone nodded their heads

"Well, the mission will be very far from the main city and may take up to five years to complete, as for the danger it is only now . . . ."

The leader paused for a while and then resumed his words

"All battalion commanders, stay here. For the rest, go and say goodbye to your families and loved ones. . . ., so that the commanders will provide you with the content of the mission. . . . now leave."

Everyone except the leaders turned around and started to leave

"Janson, you'll find me at your house, man..."

Janson nodded when he heard Will's words.

Annie is the only family-owned by Will and Janson, too.

Commander Negan looked at the last person leaving and came down from the platform and then signaled to the seven commanders to follow him

Following him, the seven leaders entered the gate of a warehouse-like building

As soon as they entered, they found a very large table with dozens of chairs, five people were sitting waiting for them

The seven bowed to the chief at the seated persons, or rather to a man in his thirties with shoulder-length blond hair and shining blue eyes.

The man has an aura of nobility and strength.

"Sit down...!"

At the command of the man, everyone sat on chairs

He turned his head to the side as a man in his about fifties, whose black hair had begun to turn gray, was wearing a bronze shield bearing the Tanley family crest. 

Understanding the man who was Klang, the Chief of Staff, the position of the Chief of Staff could be considered as the Deputy Minister of War as he had the right to control the Tanley Town Army in the absence or presence of the Minister of War, and was considered the next candidate for the position of Minister of War.

Klang understood the blond man's gaze and said as he got up

"First of all, welcome to the battalion commanders. I think there is no need to introduce myself to you or the four people beside me . . . "

Klang paused for a while and raised the finger of his right hand at the same time several papers rose and flew in front of everyone present.

This was the advanced application of magic without spells that is a lot like telekinesis

Only magicians in the fourth circle or above can do this.

"About a month ago, one of our people discovered some evidence of the existence of a mine, and it became clear to us after a week of excavation that it was a pure gold mine..."

All of the leaders, even Janson, widened their eyes in astonishment and surprise

" Although we are the ones who discovered this mine and we have the right to own it, unfortunately, the mine is located in a very sensitive area as shown in the papers that in your hands "
